This is a very accessible and friendly place if you're a tea beginner to expert levels. They sell teas and tea accessories, as well as loose leaf teas and ready to drink hot/cold teas, lattes, etc. I attended one of the tea classes and I think it was a good experience for beginners. We got to sample five teas and several pieces of chocolate, as well as snacks to clear the palate between teas. We learned about tea and how its harvested, as well as the processing of tea. We also learned about the tea flavor wheel and identified tea tasting notes in the sampled teas. I do wish there was more of a compare and contrast between the teas - it would have been cool to try the same teas but early vs late season, or tea processed similarly but from different regions. If you're new to tea though, the classes are perfect for you! read more

We visited LizzyKate as we were interested in taking one of their tea classes. We had seen several pop up in the past, but hadn't seen anything interesting in the past few months, so we dropped in to ask about them. Apparently rather than being prescheduled most of the time, they are held on demand. We asked for an Oolong tasting session and was able to get one penciled in a couple of weeks later. The store itself is appropriately decorated for a modern and trendy tea shop. There's a bit of an overpowering perfume that lingers throughout the store. It's not the best setting for a tea tasting, especially when trying to differentiate tasting notes when the olfactory glands are already completely saturated with perfume. LizzyKate has a decent selection of true tea, nothing super unique or rare, but I think they lean towards the more accessible blends and tisanes in the first place. Oolong Tasting Class ($35/per person) - Tasting sessions are held in the bar area, brewed mostly using gaiwan with carefully measured water temperature and volume. The class provides some educational material including laminated papers describing the tea production process, growing regions, anatomy, etc. More importantly, unlike some other tasting sessions I've attended, they actually provide pencil and paper, along with brewing instructions, to write down cupping and tasting notes. It certainly beats taking notes on my phone as I usually do. For this course, we tasted a white tea and four different oolongs. My personal tasting notes as follows (for future reference for myself): Bai Mu Dan - Mild, mellow, sweet and slightly astringent flavor with notes of honey and hay. Light golden liquid that's very easy to drink. Tie Guan Yin - Caramelized sweetness, vegetal leafy with a tiny earthy element. Darker golden color with more astringency and round lingering taste. The leaves smell smoky and roasted. Baihao - The smell is distinctively roasty and earthy, approaching the fermented smell of puerh. It has a brownish color and tastes smoky and earthy like peat. Formosa Oolong - It tastes of malt and molasses, with a certain oxidized toastiness. The color is more dark brown although it's not very astringent given the color. Osmanthus Oolong - This smells more malty and surprisingly not that flowery in aroma. The mouthfeel is extremely creamy and silky, almost like milk with the balanced taste of barley and hops with only a slight osmanthus flowery taste in the background. I think the base used is Jin Xuan given the milkiness. With the tasting also comes some treats including mini muffins and some tea infused bars from a chocolatier in Singapore, Fossa Chocolate. I think LizzyKate is more geared towards people who don't have much experience with tea and want a place that's extremely welcoming and modern. They have lattes and plenty of herbal and fruity infusions to help beginners ease into the complexities of tea, While this shop isn't for me, more tea shops are always welcome in the area. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who want to dip their toes into the world of tea. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. read more

I absolutely love the team at LizzieKate. I recently became a weekend regular, and I love trying out different tea combinations. So far, I have enjoyed every single combo I made...with the help of the girls behind the counter. They're so helpful, so friendly, and just overall great service and experience. read more

Great Tea, better people! Lizzykate is my favorite tea shop for sure! They have dozens of different loose leaf teas to choose from. Anything from black teas, to herbals, greens, matchas, etc. they have it all! They have a menu of drinks to choose from, or they can brew any of their loose leaf tea options. All the staff, including the owners, are very kind and helpful! They have fantastic recommendations, and you can tell it's not just a business, but it's a passion. It's a great spot to get some work done, meet a friend, or just sit and relax with a fantastic cup of tea! My favorites are the Earl Grey Cream, Blueberry Fields, and Guava Strawberry. read more

They were so kind and the tea has wonderful flavor. I love I was able to get a fruity iced tea with no added sugar.

I have tried LizzyKate twice now. The first time was for a hot matcha latte with almond milk and the second time was for the hot hojicha latte with almond milk. Both times, service was wonderful and I enjoyed my drinks. The quality of the tea was great! The ambiance is a nice cafe where you can meet friends or work on independent projects. The space is a little small, but the servers are accommodating and try to fit everyone who wants to sit. They also offer workshops after hours which looked inviting. All the teas on the wall can be tasted and you can watch them make your drink. read more

I have been meaning to write a review about them for about six months now but it's one of those things where you have so much to say because there's such an amazing business that I'm procrastinating because I wanna make sure that my review truly reflects how great the experience is and how good the tea is and how genuinely good the owners are. I wanna be able to give all those details that convinces you that you need to go now and experience it yourself. So this tea shop is exactly like a coffee shop but instead of specializing in coffee, they specialize in tea. So you'll find an entire wall of all these different teas that you can try, you can also make them into tea lattes and all these specialty drinks that I don't have the memory to recall and include in this review. You'll just have to look it up or go and have them explain it to you One thing that's really nice is that if you don't know if a tea is going to be one that you'll truly enjoy, they'll let you smell it so you get a really strong understanding if you like it or not. They also all know the products so well that if you just give some brief descriptions they'll be able to Tell you the one or two that you'll really love And of course they have all the kinds of tea. White tea, green tea, black tea. Tea with caffeine and tea without caffeine and decaf tea You can add sugar or honey or milk or a milk alternative You can buy any of the teas to take home with you so you can enjoy them at home as well They have a ton of really cool and unique tea products in the store and they do a great job of rotating them so they're always seems to be something new that I want The store is always super clean and super bright and welcoming. It's done really nice where it feels like a place you do want to spend your time in. The service is always great because they really wanna help you find the right tea because they all absolutely love tea And they know all about it. On a lot of the weekends they will have "tea flights" that are super reasonable in price and get you to try five different teas. It's fun and a way to potentially find even more teas to enjoy. In my photos I included pictures of one of the tea flights that you could get on a given weekend. I often reach out to a friend to see if they wanna go do the tea flight experience with me since it's just a more unique thing to do. So what this ultimately means is that I've introduced a ton of my friends to this business and they all love it as much as I do including their delicious teas Their tea lattes are especially good so if you've never had one, it's definitely worth trying Another thing worth noting is that they're only two blocks from the waterfront so it's fun to grab a tea and walk down and enjoy the water Also because they're in downtown Kirkland where there's a ton of restaurants, it's nice to wander over after having a good meal to have some good tea You can enjoy your tea there or you can get it to go. They have a great loyalty program as well The owner seem like truly good and humble people and are very friendly and of course extremely knowledgeable And of course I should mention that you can get any of these teas iced as well. So really the sky is the limit in terms of tea there and how you like to take your tea. And it's great because there's so many options that you can try fun new things as well Enjoy your time there. The next thing you know you're gonna be on here writing a review about how much you enjoyed it as well read more

LizzyKate had been a long time Kirkland bookmark for several years. It even outlasted the bubble tea spot I had visited in the vicinity. I was finally able to visit LizzyKate on a late Friday afternoon (10/25/24). Clearly a popular meeting place. Tea enthusiasts, whether a regular or a first time visitor, all are welcome! Vast selection of teas on display and reminiscent of spots I've visited in Seattle and Edmonds. LizzyKate enables tea to be approachable due to very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The varieties and blends spans two walls of the retail shop. There are also additional eye catching merch. Note to self - need to return for unique holiday gift shopping. I was able to sample onsite three brewed teas: white butterscotch, pumpkin spice chai, and stress relief. Information was also provided regarding ingredients, caffeine content, volume, steeping time and recommended temperature. In addition, this was an opportunity to sample onsite three distinct chocolate bars with the above teas. This allowed to note various flavor profiles based on the combinations consumed together. The chocolate samples were Kyoto ceremonial matcha white chocolate from Kessho, and the other two were from Raaka, green tea crunch with unroasted dark chocolate and chamomile lavender also with unroasted dark chocolate. I enjoyed this tea and chocolate tasting hosted by Yelp WA Eastside and LizzyKate. I ended up buying additional merchandise to recreate this at home. I bought the same Raaka bars listed above and also an Earl Grey one with unroasted dark chocolate. I also purchased freshly packed stoppered tubes of white butterscotch, stress relief, and tumeric chai. The sample tubes found at the wall display allows customers to see and smell the tea. I experienced a relaxing vibe and left with more pro tips and tea knowledge. Thank you LizzyKate! read more

Thanks to a yelp event , I was able to find this gem! I never knew it was here , and I've lived in Redmond for over 10 yrs. This tea shop is cozy, warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and approachable. If you want to try tea, they got it! They had an array of different kinds of tea. I tried the butterscotch and it was delicious. I cannot wait to come back for their events and learn more about tea. Ps. A perfect girls day activity read more

I went to a Yelp Tea and Chocolate tasting and discovered a new place to have a nice cup of tea and snacks. I met the husband and wife ownership team and learned that LizzyKate has been here for over 8 years and survived COVID. While here, I purchased a 2 ounce package of the Masala Chai tea (cuz I love caffeine!) and a box of the Halloween Tea and Treat Pairing for later use. They offer a rotating flight of teas at the front counter and you can get free self refills anytime. And those front counter teas were warmed by a tea light which is the absolute first time I've ever seen tea lights in use for their original purpose! The staff informed me that the Fall and Winter are their busiest seasons and they are trying to make more Iced Tea offerings (Chai Latte anyone?) to get the business up in the other two seasons. I'm normally a coffee/espresso drinker and that likely won't change anytime soon (Yay Italy!) but I can see the benefits of an occasional nice cup of tea. I will be taking my oldest daughter here one day as she is a fan of tea. read more

The owner Amy is lovely! She provides so much knowledge and kindness. Very helpful selecting a present for a friend. They have various tea and tea 'accessories' . A one stop place for buying gifts for a friend. Tried their matcha latte tea today. Although not my favorite (can be a little stronger, more matcha to milk ratio). But love how cute it is in a glass mug. Usually like most of the tea they serve and always a good experience with great service so will still give it a 5 star. read more

I have been walking by this place for years saying "someday I will stop in here and have some tea" and I am so glad that I finally made it happen! The tea shop is cute and comfy, great ambiance and fun little surprises all around the store. I'm not big on caffeine, so I got a almond honey tea latte with oat milk and it was so good! It came out PINK from the almond in the tea and was just such a vibe. The staff is super friendly and did a great job guiding me through a few choices. They also had a 'serve yourself' tea sampling flight that I had a blast with and even went home with a few bags of loose leaf tea for myself. There are fun events here all the time, usually posted on their instagram. They work with a local chocolate company too and occasionally do chocolate and tea flights- hoping to make it back for one of those soon! read more

This is a cute hang out spot in Kirkland downtown for folks that like trying different kinds of tea. We got their matcha and green teas. Ended buying their green tea leaves to enjoy at home as well. Service was quick and the folks were generally super nice. My matcha was a bit too diluted or mild, but I plan to request for a stronger one next time! read more

LizzyKate is a popular tea shop and tearoom on the Eastside. Located within the downtown Kirkland zone, they are a convenient location to shop all things tea, including tea gadgets and teapots. While they have oodles of loose tea leaves available (which I prefer over tea bags), I don't tend to buy loose tea leaves from them as they are more expensive than other tea shops I frequent (sorry, just the truth). What I instead buy is a hot cup of latte from them, most commonly the London Fog with Earl Grey, Vanilla, and 2% Milk in 16oz. It's a moderate latte, not too strong. I don't drink Earl Grey at home, preferring English Breakfast. This is an uncommon exception that I enjoy when someone else makes it. They also have self-service flights of tea, sometimes paired with chocolate. The shop is cute, small but also just big enough to hang-out for a bit. The inside tends to be quiet, which I like. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I love their staff. They were very knowledgeable shot the teas they sell. My favorite has been the stress relief because it had that sweet undertone in the tea. I think they said it has something to do with stevia leaves in it. The overall ambiance of the place is relaxing and definitely love their tea display and how u can try to test smell of their teas. read more

I am a tea lover, so I went to LizzyKate Tea. This small-batch tea company is based in the Pacific Northwest and produces some of the most delicious and unique tea blends around. Their selection is vast, with a range of black, green, white, and herbal teas to choose from. They use high-quality ingredients and blend them together in creative ways, resulting in teas that are both delicious and complex. They are committed to sustainability. They source their tea from ethical and sustainable suppliers, and use eco-friendly packaging for the most part. They offer a variety of sampler sets so you can try a bunch of different teas and find your favorites. Talking to the helpful staff was revealing about brewing methods and tea culture. We got the green tea sencha reserve pot. Also got the apple caramel latte. Enjoyed both, Give them a try, and you won't be disappointed! read more

What a lovely little tea/coffee shop. A delightfully aesthetic interior, with a yummy menu offering both iced and hot options. I got the iced Cuckoo for Coconut and my boyfriend got the iced London fog. It was so hard to choose what to order, everything sounded delicious. My coconut was soft, flavorful, and refreshing. His London fog was perfectly creamy while the tea flavor still showed through. I noticed there was a sign during check out that they add a 15% tip to every credit card order unless you explicitly state otherwise... I was a little taken aback by reading that. I recognize they do not feel comfortable letting customers interact with the POS interface, but I feel it would be better practice to ask the customer if they would like to tip rather than sneaking it on there. Overall, the location is great and the drinks were delightful. Also seems like a great place to get some work done. We look forward to coming back and trying more! read more

I love to support local small businesses and have wanted to visit Lizzy Kate in Downtown Kirkland for a while now. Finally on a Saturday afternoon a few weekends ago, I was able to stop by this tea shop. They specialize in premium loose-leaf tea and tea related items like tea sampler sets, tea pots, tea mugs, iced tea pitchers, and infusers. They also have a Drinks Menu with a selection of hot tea or iced tea that you can order either to-go or grab a table to have in store. They also have tea lattes, Chai tea latte, London Fog latte, Matcha latte and more options. As I was waiting at the counter to order the friendly owner Amy walked me thru the various tea selections and the color coding on the tins on their tea wall. She explained the different types of teas and the differences between white, green and black teas. I also got to smell some of the teas. They also have Tea Tasting Flights and Pairings that they offer every Fri, Sat & Sun. I ended up ordering the Caramel Apple Latte and my husband & son got the Green Tea Sench Reserve Pot. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks, and I will definitely be coming back for more tea tastings and other events. read more

It is a nice place to meet up with your friends and drink tea. Good ambiance and service.

Fantastic tea place!! My favorite tea spot in Seattle for sure. Insanely customizable. They have about 112 different teas that you can choose from, and you can even mix and match. And you can make it hot, cold, as a latte. Endless. Green tea. Black tea. White tea. Herbal. Fruity herbal. All delicious too! They sell a lot of tea by the bag too, great for taking home to steep yourself or for a gift. I also love their small gifts section, cards, pins, bottles. An absolutely charming and high quality tea shop! read more

It fills a void of good tea place on eastside with good selection of teas but the actual drinks could use a bit of work. I tried two teas and 3 drinks. Masala spice tea, truffle black tea both hot. And masala spice tea in latte drink. There is no fancy cups for the teas- which i enjoy in other places Now hot tea without milk was fine but what can go wrong here...steep tea in hot water and voila. The tea itself was okay...i dint see why the truffle tea was named so but maybe i just have sandpaper for my tongue. Masala spice was good...but not strong enough...but i see people liking it. The latte was just soooo damn milky...now I have chai latte everyday and I think what may have gone wrong is they made the same strength of tea like hot water based tea (we ordered extra shot) and then added milk not accounting for addition of fluids...so it just dulled the tea flavor for me a lottt. Maybe increasing the tea when making latte will balance the drink. Also....quite quite pricy....but demand-supply dictates they can get away with it until someone else decides to put up anotger shop. read more

The overall atmosphere of this tea shop is just lovely. It's peaceful, quiet, smells of tea, and adorably decorated. I come here regularly to try different teas and do homework for school. I love the service the team provides to all their customers. You can smell teas before trying them and they have a wide variety and new lattes for each season. I appreciate the expertise the owners bring to their business, having a lot of knowledge about tea, traveling to Japan and bringing back qualities teas for us to try. I love places that invest in quality and know their specialty very well. I also love when they have unique macarons for sale! :) Thank you for giving us such a lovely place to go. read more

Such a cute store with delicious tea! All the tea baristas are so sweet and have great recommendations. I've been here multiple times but came this time with a friend for a matcha class. The woman leading the class was so nice and really worked with our schedule which I really appreciated! There weren't any classes that fit with our plans so I enquired about doing a private class and they were so accommodating. The class was informative and we tried some excellent matcha. I would have liked to dive even deeper into customs surrounding matcha and some of the history more but overall my friend and I really really enjoyed it and were so happy Lizzy Kate made this class happen for us. Would highly recommend both the classes to the tea-curious, and the shop in general to anyone! Very grateful to have a great business like this in downtown Kirkland. read more

I was thirsty after wandering the area and wanted some tea. Admittedly I was thinking about bubble tea, but this was the tea shop I wandered into. This is a much more serious style yes shop with a crazy impressive wall of teas. I ordered a medium rose tea and it was amazingly aromatic and wonderful! They maker their teas with a fancy machine, and they were very willing to talk about their teas. This time I only got a regular hot tea but they have tea lattes and apparently have a list of non dairy milk I could have so next time I will definitely try a tea latte! (They also had some cute cookies but I had already consumed too much sugar.) read more

I loved everything about this tea shop. Lovely decor. Fair pricing. Knowledgeable staff and an excellent selection of teas. $5 for a flight of 5 tasty teas from black to green to herbal. However the specific variety of those teas were new to me. They give you a cup and you can return to multiple rounds of the ones you like. The Japanese dessert was a treat to the eyes and mouth. Definitely returning next time I am in Kirkland. BTW I parked 2.5 hours in a 2 hour parking spot - my friend was a little late meeting me - and I got a parking ticket even though it was a winter day and not crowded in downtown Kirkland. Oh well. Live and learn. At least the sun was out for a while and the outing was worth it! Enjoy. read more

Wow wow wow!!! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at LizzyKate last week. We were on a walk for coffee and decided to try this place instead and get a tea. I love coffee, but I think I am slightly more of a tea person -- matcha and chai specifically. This place is a heaven for tea lovers!!! SO many different options. From caffeinated to non-caffeinated, hot tea to iced tea, black tea to green tea, etc. They also have alternative milks and options of sweeteners to add to your drink. I got an iced almond milk matcha with honey and my boyfriend got an iced almond milk chai with honey. We both LOVED our drinks. They use all natural teas which is amazing. No added sugar or ingredients like some other coffee shops. :) The service was wonderful and the inside of the place is SO clean and bright. It would be an amazing place to bring your laptop and do some work. We will 100000% be back!!!! read more
